I was driving home tonight and Pink Cashmere came on my music player. It got me thinking if Prince had a song with colour in the title for each colour in the rainbow and how big the playlist would be. Well here’s my attempt at compiling them all, in rainbow order plus the white, black and brown ones. If I’ve missed any, make sure to let us all know.

Remember those color-themed bootlegs circa 93-95? Yellow, Blue, Red and Platinum (did I forget any?). I remember a friend buying Yellow when released and those awfully sounding demos were the coolest thing in the universe for a week

Red was the first CD bootleg I ever bought. All the Graffiti Bridge outtakes on it were awesome!

Before that I only bought vinyl boots and traded tapes with people who religiously bought every single CD boot back then.

Yes, paid a fortune for them back then, but still have them . Open to offers!! Joking, wouldn't part with my Cd's ! Vinyl however ?

This is what Trivial said: Cloreen Bacon Skin (the latter two could be colors - as a stretch)He was using the plural because I guess he thought bacon might be a color, IDK, but I have never heard bacon used as a color.

Further down he said it would be creepy IF skin were a color.

FYI - flesh is not a color either. My mom was an elementary school art teacher when I was a kid in the 60s. She ripped the paper wrapping off all the Crayola Crayons marked "flesh" so her students would not identify that as the only "skin" color. I learned that one when I was about 3 yrs old helping her. She called it peach. They finally changed the name in the 80s-ish. Now they say they did it in 1962 but that isn't true.

https://www.reddit.com/r/...h_crayons/I'd say the upshot of all this is that FrankieCoco1 did a damn good job on his list because even Trivial can't find any more colors. I also like the way he did it in rainbow order, nice touch.

I noticed that about orange too when doing the list, albeit Tangerine does cover it. Green was nearly missing completely, except for Jadestone, and if you count clover in Crimson and Clover. Green is obviously mentioned in Partyman though:

All hail, the new king in townYoung and old, gather 'round (yeah)Black and white, red and GREEN (funky)The funkiest man you've ever seen

Green does rhyme with seen pretty darn well.

I studied color healing years ago. The color numerology for Prince's name is interesting.

Total is 100, 1+0+0 =1. Life path is 1, strength (force) of will - leader. Color is red.

This is a very basic outline. There is significance to how many of each number a name contains - amplification. Each color has a body placement (mirrored in chakras) and personality characteristic, for instance Red represents will, Orange represents joy…

Edit - sorry for getting it wrong the first time. I did his a long time ago, I've got a lot of these and mixed it up with someone else. For those who think his middle name was Roger not Rogers, I used what was on his birth certificate. Also, Rogers is a name used in the south, where his peeps were from.
